I tried to make a simple elevator but due to time constraints, was unable to. This differs from my idea because it is only 2 stories with a roof, instead of 3 stories and an inaccessible roof. I wanted to also create an outer walkway that is similar to a catwalk, but did not get the chance to. Overall there are many things that one can do in this maze but i wonder how it will turn out with more than one person?

The big difference is, rather than having a goal to reach the center, it simply is a killbox maze. Some things that were unforeseen in the designing,... briachu high hopes. As for what I've learned from this project: Go for something beyond what you can achieve even if it's impossible. Despite my incomplete map, I'm glad I came this far on creating it, because it's quite an experience to see what you've done in action. ]]> References tag:www.twcdc.com,2008:/mod_Brian//66.1289 2008-05-16T12:08:01Z 2008-05-16T13:10:56Z I forgot to put this up earlier in the week, but here are some links to some references I looked into before I started designing and making my map. First I went to the quick and dirty Wikipedia.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth... briachu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth Here I learned what the differences are in a maze and labyrinth. A maze is a more complex structure, which is harder to escape, where as a labyrinth possesses almost one path, that dauntingly creates a shape and/or image. It is from this, that I gathered that I would rather prefer to make a maze rather than to make a labyrinth. Looking online for more sites, I came across these two: http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/algrithm.htm http://www.amazeingart.com/maze-faqs/draw-mazes.html Here is where i learned the technical terms and how to even create a maze for use. draw-mazes1.png

At this point I believe I could say that I've bitten off a lot more than I can "chew". I definitely hit some snags during this whole final project, but the biggest problem is the lack of time with an adequate computer in order to create this map. My dependence on the "Computer" in the lab is what lead to my downfall. Had I more time with a computer that can run hammer and Deathmatch at my disposal without any problems, I would definitely have finished this with a much better polished piece. ]]> Concept Write-up tag:www.twcdc.com,2008:/mod_Brian//66.1264 2008-05-06T10:13:07Z 2008-05-06T10:13:28Z 1.

Concept My main idea is to have player(s) inside of a 3d Maze that is multi-layered with different rooms to explore. I chose to do this because the main idea is not many people have actually been in one, and can be quite confusing. I find this interesting because I wonder if people will figure out how to get to the center of my diabolical maze. To make this idea as simple as I can while making it quite complex is to limit the amount of textures I use, and only use simple shapes in complicated ways. My final product will be a multiplayer deathmatch map that takes the players into a 3d maze. I will document the level from a perspective outside and inside the maze. It is up to the players (up to 16) to see what it is like inside with no escape. 2. Technical -This is based on the Half-life 2 Deathmatch. I will be using hammer predominately and after learning how to make textures for the map, I will be able to make any texture I want for the level. I have done research on maze making and labyrinth designs, along with constructing a concept sketch using Adobe Illustrator to further my ideas by making a hard copy to follow. Also, I've researched hallway size and breakable walls/glass for further factors in fun. I foresee that I will probably not have enough time to make all parts of the labyrinth work, but even if I create one floor, I feel it will be a great experience for everyone to check out. 3. Schedule May 2: Created and tested my first room of 27 to make sure everything is the right size as well as in workin order. Complete my rough outline of my map to follow while constructing the map. Haven't figured out how to make destroyed wall respawn. May: 9: :Finish creating at least 20 rooms. Hopefully I will be able to copy and paste most room while changing the geographic layout. May consider making most wall destroyable, in order to make the map more interesting (but they will have A LOT of hit points). May 16: Finish up with whatever rooms, and bug test it with a friend. Then record on fraps while making a quickview of what it looks like. And turn it in??

Today, I didnt' get to spend all that much time in the class to work on it because of Danny's Commemorative event, but I did get a chance to do some testing and working with Hammer editor. I was able to make one room w/ lighting, but within a skybox, it seemed to take a lot of memory/time to load, so i might have to get rid of the skybox. but we'll see. No screenshots yet, but perhaps next time. ]]> Catching up tag:www.twcdc.com,2008:/mod_Brian//66.1241 2008-04-25T23:33:44Z 2008-04-25T23:35:52Z Today I worked a bit on my final project idea after doing some research on labyrinths and mazes.
